From Forward in Reverse (2016). Forward in Reverse is the third studio album by the Danish rock band Dizzy Mizz Lizzy, released on 13 April 2016 in Japan and on 29 April 2016 worldwide by Columbia Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Dizzy Mizz Lizzy's other songs from Forward in Reverse, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop C (C G C F A D).

Can I play "Phlying Pharaoh" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Phlying Pharaoh" tone on a Katana, a Helix, a tube combo, or anything else. The translation accounts for EQ curve, gain structure, and pickup type so the result actually sounds like the record, not just the same knob numbers on different gear.
